Newsies, The Broadway Musical


The NEWSIES are here! Based on the 1992 film "Newsies" and inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City, this high-energy story features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman, and a book by Harvey Fierstein.

"Newsies" tells the rousing story of charismatic leader Jack Kelly and his band of a ragged young 'newsies,' who dream of better lives, far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titan Joseph Pulitzer raises distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike and take a stand for what's right.
